Club Notes - 29th February

Joker Fundraiser

Our popular Jack the Joker Fundraiser will continue
this Sunday night in The Stables Bar where the Jackpot will be €3,928. This
week Laura Morrissey was drawn out of the drum but did not find the joker but did
win €50 while Jonathan O’Donovan and Maurice O’Donnell won €25. We appeal to all our supporters to
continue purchasing the tickets as the funds raised will go towards our ongoing
development works at the club grounds.

On Sunday afternoon last Munster were narrowly
defeated by Ulster in the Railway Cup Final in Armagh where our club was

On behalf of all in the club we would like to

in Cashel. Representing our club on the day were David and Evan Collins, Brian
Looby, Laurence Power and Eamonn Crotty who all become the first members of our
club to win a Harty Cup medal and we wish the team the best of luck ahead of
the All Ireland Semi Final on St.Patrick’s Day.
